CAPTURE MORE BROADLY
People can have more than one address. We capture them all, so you can be sure contributions aren’t going unmonitored just because the same person contributed in different states.
FRESH DATA DAILY
Data is collected daily but how often it’s refreshed by the federal government, states, or municipalities can vary. Typically, the more populous the state the more frequently the data is published publicly.

Data can be exported in an editable Excel/CSV format by employee groups or at the individual level so you can sort, manipulate, and review it on your own terms.
DATA PRIVACY
Due to state privacy laws, users only have access to the contributions made by firm employees and their family members, not to the entire contribution database.
